- How do I pass DTS 399?
- Start looking for a placement a full semester early — the good data-related placements go first and generic clerical placements waste your six units Fill the logbook the same day, every day. Reconstructing five months of entries the week before submission is obvious to any examiner and costs marks Ask to be given at least one end-to-end task you own; a placement where you only observed is very hard to write six units of report about Treat SIWES as final-year project reconnaissance — the best projects come from a real problem you saw at your placement
